A gestão educacional e as políticas públicas no ensino superior: uma análise no curso de Ciências Biológicas da UFSM

Abstract

In this monograph had focused on the inclusion of educational administration and public policy in the initial training course in Biological Sciences - BA, Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), of which I am egress. From the assumption it is paramount to a good training future teachers, I felt the need to understand how teacher training is occurring on the issues of educational administration and policy in that course? In an attempt to answer this question, used as the basis written sources (legal documents of course) analyzed the light of research questions, as well as oral sources, by conducting interviews with teachers and students of the course, and teachers trained by the same which, today, involved in basic education. Six were selected for analysis and normative seven interviews. The analysis of these sources reveals that only the adoption of the term management is not responsible for changes in school organization. What is needed is information on what management and public policy, and an awareness of the subjects for participation. For the subject, the disciplines that have proposed practical and / or analysis of school documents contributed much in their training and for a better performance in schools. Finally, respondents point out that one of the problems to think about the initial training together, is the characteristic of existing sectorization in Higher Education, and the lack of clarity of terms related to management and public policy hinders its implementation in educational spaces.
